    SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped
    Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
    Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
    Richard Hawkins This is a rare example where the American version of a TV show is better than the British original. The original was merely frustrating in its Sisyphean contrivances whereas the American is more sweet-natured and the actors are more likable. I particularly loved the scene where a stunned budgie is mistaken for a growing erection in the hapless hero's pants while he watches his fiancée's sister breastfeeding – it's more complicated than that of course but still hilarious! The fiancée's father is played by Kurtwood Smith from Dead Poets' Society and many other good movies. Unfortunately Channel 10 in Australia gave up on the show after a few episodes because of poor ratings.
    S.R. Dipaling Poor,beleaguered SAm Briggs(Kyle Bornheimer,who seems to have been born with a 'I'm screwed!'face)is about to marry the lovely Melanie(Erinn HAyes),but has the dangerous task of trying to impress her parents(KUrtwood Smith and NAncy Lenehan,both great!)and seems to wear bad luck around his neck. EAch element of their impending nuptials becomes fraught with peril,all laying out traps for our intrepid hero.THis comedy has worked so far(At this writing,about twelve episodes deep). THe timing and reactions of all involved work well enough(Or better yet,they stay out of the way of the natural humor to develop)that this show has a true charm and appeal to it. I'm probably mincing details here,but I still cannot help but feel like naming a show "Worst Week" suggests that this show's running plot is a singular or finite problem. Since the mere nature of a TV series is,usually,to continue indefinitely,the naming of a show set around a singular worst week seems to present a bit of a problem. Or maybe that's just me.UNless there's been a revelation as to the time constraints of this show in a previous episode(or episodes)that I've not been cognizant of,I cannot help but feel like a show with the kind of genuinely funny quality and rich potential,the producers might want to change the title. Some suggestions: "Worst Weeks"? "Another BAd Week"? "ONe Bad DAy After Another"?Again,just suggestions. Good show,though!
    jammym-1 I really didn't know much about the program before I watched it. I wasn't expecting much. I just finished watching the first episode of Worst Week and I'm still wiping the tears from my eyes. Yes, I laughed until I cried. This episode was one hilarious event after another. It was a cross between Meet the Parents and sometimes Weekend at Bernie's. The main character had the worst luck of anyone I have ever seen! I only worry that the premise might get old and become less funny episode after episode. I hope not. One great thing about this show is no laugh track! Yay! Don't miss this one! It's one in a million.
    immabe5 So during my stay at Las Vegas i was offered a chance to see a test screening of a new CBS show. At first i was very excited because i would be able to see a new show before it aired. My excitement left me soon after the first couple of minutes.This show is complete trash and there is no doubt in my mind that it will flop after it's first week. How this trash even gets a chance to go on T.V i will never know. The acting is horrible the situations are very predictable and in some situations so unrealistic it hurts.But the main thing that gets me is it is a COMPLETE COPY OF MEET THE PARENTS! Lets see a nervous guy who is about to get married to his girlfriend, but always seems to be making mistakes in front of the parents. All the situations are way to similar to meet the parents.I urge you to watch the episode just to see what a pile it really is.
